Firing line: Megan Fox makes some cruel comments about Lindsay Lohan in the new issue of Esquire magazine

The Transformers star had told
Esquireof her decision to get rid of the Marilyn ink : ‘I started
reading about her and realized that her life was
incredibly difficult. It's like when you visualize something for your
future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative.

‘She
wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay [Lohan]. She
was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable.... She
had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered. I'm not
interested in following in those footsteps.’

‘Ava Gardner.’ she revealed. ‘She had power. She was a broad. She got what she wanted and said what she needed.’

The interview was published online on
Tuesday, and shortly afterwards Megan attempted to smooth things over
as far as her Lindsay comments were concerned.

'Both women were gifted actresses,
whose natural talent was lost amongst the chaos and incessant media
scrutiny surrounding their lifestyles and their difficulties adhering to
studio schedules etc.
I intended for this to be a factual comparison of two women with similar
experiences in Hollywood. Unfortunately it turned into me offering up
what is really much more of an uneducated opinion.'

She added: 'It was most definitely
not my intention to criticize or degrade Lindsay. I would never want her
to feel bullied, as she does not deserve that. I was not always
speaking eloquently during this interview and this miscommunication is
my fault.'

recently revealed she removed dairy from her diet for helping shift her
baby weight and at last check in December she said she still has 10
pounds to go before she returns her pre-pregnancy weight.

The
star – who is married to actor Brian Austin Green, 39 - gave birth in
September and tells Esquire that she is no longer comfortable with being
just
sex symbol.

She wants to be recognised for her talent as an actress.

She added: ‘I felt powerless in that
image. I didn't feel powerful. It ate every other part of my
personality, not for me but for how people saw me, because there was
nothing else to see or know.

'That devalued me. Because I wasn't anything. I was an image. I was a picture. I was a pose.’

She revealed that while she may have a racy image, she is actually quite conservative.

She
admitted of her clean ways: ‘I can't stand pills. I don't like
drinking. I don't like feeling out of control. I have to feel like I'm
in control of my body. And I know what you're thinking, Then why would I
want to go to church and speak in tongues?’
